This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.
So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.
There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.
Answer:
7*(x-4)=-10
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Plug in numbers
•48=12h
2. Divide 48 by 12
•48/12=12h/12
3. 12/12 cancels out, and 48/12=4
h=4
X+y=27
x=2y
2y+y=27
y=9
x=27-y
x=27-9=18
